Gravestone of Dalip Singh

[Akaali]

I thought he got back into Sikhi, but I guess after he converted to Christianity he died as a Christian, pretty sad.

I dont think his body is buried there, i think the slab is just there to commemerate him. but I do know that he did covert back to Sikhi.

Sat Sri Akal:

Dalip Singh was removed from the Punjab and taught in Western schools with plenty of education about Christianity. He adopted Christianity, but later in life, he began to study his heritage and found his Sikh roots. He converted back to Sikhism and died a Sikh.

No.

Cemeteries don't have "fake" graves they either have the body of the deceased person or a tomb is made for the person.

"Cemeteries don't have "fake" graves they either have the body of the deceased person or a tomb is made for the person"

says who? The punjabi soldier who was born into a sikh family, who died in the iraqi war has a tomb stone to commemerate him and it has a khanda on it. It doesnt matter if the body is there, as long as you are willing to pay the price for the tomb.
